“After a few days observing Hepburn, one thing that stood out was how she flushed her face with ice every time she walked on set. I asked her what she was doing and she said, 'For me this is better than any make-up, it makes my face glow.' This was a beauty secret Suzy Parker also swore by." - Photographer Cornel Lucas, who took these photos of Kate in for THE IRON PERTICOAT (1956) Kate did not want to sit and pose for a photographer on this day and instead told him: “I’ve been shot all my life in the studio, I’d prefer it if you just follow me around and take pictures as you like.” They spent the whole day together - when Lucas saw a moment to capture he would nod at the electrician above who would shed light on to her. Cornel loved working with Katharine Hepburn, recalling: “She once told me that a top studio executive had called her an ugly duckling who lacked star quality. I couldn’t believe it.” • #beauty #katharinehepburn #cornellucas #photographer #smoking #cigarette #beautysecret #theironpetticoat #suzyparker #icefacial #actress #hollywood #film https://www.instagram.com/p/CUJJTiIFVGr/?utm_medium=tumblr
